This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award prepares Ph.D. students at the Georgia Institute of Technology with the tools to improve the efficiency, design, and manufacturing of new materials. While providing students with interdisciplinary training in computing, mathematics, and material sciences, the program promotes entrepreneurial approaches to developing new materials into products for the global market.Intellectual Merit: The goal of this training program is to produce scientists and engineers who will develop and use data analytics, modeling, and simulation methods to advance the fields of materials design and manufacturing. Trainees will quantify the microstructures that comprise materials and will develop algorithms and software to represent and transform these microstructures. Additionally, trainees will explore application challenges such as creating light-weight materials for energy-efficient vehicles and accelerating the development of new technologies such as additive manufacturing. Through internships in industry and a curriculum that combines business with materials science, mathematics and computing, trainees learn how to apply their research to commercial product development.Broader Impacts: By increasing the efficiency of materials development and manufacturing, this program contributes to America's competitiveness in an increasingly globalized marketplace and contributes to the creation of new and sustainable materials and technologies. Moreover, this traineeship program helps students develop the skills and tools needed to pursue careers at the intersection of materials science, mathematics and computing. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to establish new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and to engage students in understanding the processes by which research is translated to innovations for societal benefit.

这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖准备博士学位。格鲁吉亚理工学院的学生们使用工具来提高新材料的效率、设计和制造。在为学生提供计算机、数学和材料科学的跨学科培训的同时，该计划还促进了将新材料开发成面向全球市场的产品的创业方法。智力优势：该培训计划的目标是培养科学家和工程师，他们将开发和使用数据分析，建模和模拟方法来推进材料设计和制造领域。学员将量化组成材料的微观结构，并开发算法和软件来表示和转换这些微观结构。此外，学员还将探索应用挑战，例如为节能汽车制造轻质材料，以及加速增材制造等新技术的开发。通过在工业界的实习以及将商业与材料科学、数学和计算相结合的课程，学员学习如何将他们的研究应用于商业产品开发。更广泛的影响：通过提高材料开发和制造的效率，该计划有助于美国在日益全球化的市场中的竞争力，并有助于创造新的可持续材料和技术。此外，该培训计划帮助学生发展在材料科学，数学和计算的交叉领域追求职业所需的技能和工具。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，在所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在为研究生教育和培训建立新的模式，为超越传统学科界限的合作研究创造肥沃的环境，并让学生了解研究转化为创新以造福社会的过程。
